Are the extra troops really going to make a difference in Iraq?

jumpinjack00 @jumpinjack00 (3054) • United States 23 Jan 07

Is Bush just grasping at straws. Is he hoping he can end this mess before the end of his term?

blueberrypie No good can come from an increase of troops in the region. The more we send and the longer we are there the more enemies we create. Our role of "liberating" Iraq has been completed staying longer just makes it look like the the US is bent on becoming an a...

blueberrypie I'm not certain, but I think they probably earn money from the ads they put on each post. These are, I believe, google ads and everytime someone clicks one of these links, mylot would make a bit of money. They are counting on the fact that people will be...

Photo Avatars?

BunGirl @BunGirl (2638) • United States 1 Feb 07

I've seen MANY many posts here at myLot asking users to post their pictures as their avatars. I just don't get it! What's so important about seeing someone's face on their profile? The word avatar (in computer terms) is...

blueberrypie I agree with you that one of the best parts about being on the Internet is that people aren't able to base their opinions about you on appearance. That said, I think that the reason people want to see you is because as human we base so much on what we can see...
